Here is another fond memory of summer in San Francisco: In-N-Out Burger, which has somehow never made it onto my site before (despite the mass quantities I've consumed in my lifetime). This is from the Fisherman's Wharf one... we used to go to the ones in Marin and DC a lot too.
double double animal style (minus pickles), fries - $5
I'm blanking on the final price of the double double meal - the burger, fries, and drink, but it's $5 something. In high school this is something I knew to exact change. Animal style just means sauteed onions rather than raw, extra sauce, and pickles (but I hate pickles). So really I just do it for the onions. In-N-Out still holds the undisputed fast food burger crown, and there's no one even in the same ballpark. Can a puma challenge a lion for the throne of the jungle? The answer is no. I wish they had one on Comm Ave.
